Local Labour Senator Ged Nash says that the critical final phase of the National Planning Framework campaign for Drogheda starts this week.

The deadline for submissions on the national plan is midday this Friday.

Senator Nash says he's been overwhelmed at the public response to the campaign since it was first revealed that Drogheda has been omitted from the National Planning Framework, which will dictate where jobs, investment and services will go up to 2040.

He argues that the pressure must be kept up over the next few weeks, to secure a designation of the area as a first tier population centre and city, like Waterford, as the final draft of the plan will go before government for a decision before Christmas.
